Kawneer has joined forces with GEZE UK to launch a superior ventilating
window.

Superior automated ventilation for all types of projects is now available
through a joint venture between leading architectural aluminium systems
supplier Kawneer and GEZE UK, a leading manufacturer
of door and window control systems and safety technology.

Kawneer's AA®720 parallel opening window now
combines with GEZE's award-winning Slimchain window drive system to provide
effective ventilation around the entire window perimeter without detriment to
safety and security regardless of sector, be it residential, healthcare,
education, commercial, retail or leisure.

The AA®720 window already had proven thermal
performance, achieving U-values of 1.5 W/m2K for a CEN sized window
with a warm edge spacer, offering exceptional levels of natural ventilation and
air exchange, with a 86mm clear opening restriction as standard.

And now the new and innovative CE Marked
assisted-opening system has been fully tested to the PAS 24:2012 enhanced
security performance standard as well as BS 6375 Part 1 (weather) and Part 2
(strength).

Slimchain is part of GEZE's range of window
drives which share a uniform, discreet design and innovative Smart fix installation
system. It is adaptable enough to fulfil completely diverse requirements
relating to loads, upstroke lengths of up to 800mm, opening widths up to 1500mm
wide and 2400mm high, and the widest range of types of installation.

The new system for new-build and
refurbishment projects offers more versatile design options than other
solutions as Slimchain can be used on windows up to 400kg - a significant
weight handling advantage over competitor products. Its intelligent electronics
allow continuously adjustable drive strokes and individual speeds.

The AA®720 + Slimchain window is backed with
full support from Kawneer's and GEZE's technical, estimating and design teams
as well as the reassurance of extensive testing of a totally integrated
assisted opening system.
